Happy New Year!
I don't like it....... Can't I just stay at home with my computer or my art toys?
I don't like Holidays.... I like my regular days.

Illustration Friday - Holiday
Oh well, not everything can turn out the way I want it....
Thursday evening.... almost didn't make it.
Not my favorite piece....
I wish I had more time.
I wanted to use the words that speak to me:
kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
secret anniversaries of the heart."

I stayed with the same color scheme and texture, but with formats that I'm used to. Here is a new ACEO:

and a new art squared (4x4):

I received the best compliment this evening. My DH is always very supportive of my work, but his comment on these last pieces was... overwhelming. He said: "They (my art pieces) are finally starting to look like you - powerful and beautiful". Wasn't that a great compliment?

I is for inspiration
I am trying to work on a larger scale than the one I'm used to. The little format of ACEOs is non-threatening. Art squared (4x4) was a big step for me. This one is the largest collage I ever made - it is 5.5" x 8.5". There is some journaling, painting, collaging, stamping... the words say searching for, looking for, fishing for....... Inspiration. There is more text, scratched words and little hidden thoughts.

I often wonder do people try to notice little things that artists put in their work. It is fun when you can combine things... like I used Goethe's words "Boldness has power, genius, magic in it"... and found a little piece from a vintage book with the word magic and made a hat for the bird.

Testing the grounds
Let me start by admitting that I have no idea what I'm doing... I have been hooked on reading blogs for a while now. I guess I wanted to be a part of it... Right now I'm not sure what my user name is, what the name that shows is, what the blog name is... I just kind of typed similar names for all, and hopefully I'll be able to change it when I figure it out.
Also, I have no idea how people find blogs and do they really read them. I'll pretend that I'm alone in the cyber space and write when I feel like it. I can always delete it, right?
